Ye Chu heard Ye Jingyun calling for him to come help. He could not help wanting to curse angrily. Did this woman think he was having an easy time? He was facing four people attacking him together. It was equally strenuous for him.
“Ye Chu, show the same spirit you had when you defeated Ye Yuanwang!”
Ye Jingyun was shaken back once again by the city lord of Ma Yuan City. She could not help shouting loudly at Ye Chu. She knew Ye Chu still had tricks up his sleeve, yet this fellow refused to use them. Occasionally, from the corner of her eye, she even caught what seemed like a gloating look in Ye Chu’s eyes. Ye Jingyun wondered if she was imagining it.
The arena had already descended into chaos. Taking advantage of the fact that the city lord of Ma Yuan City was tied up, the other major camps suddenly struck out, trying to drive their opponents out of the competition.
The city was in disarray, but these camps showed remarkable tacit understanding. None of them approached the battlefield where Ma Yuan City was clashing with Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun.
“This time, we’re going to finish you off!” The four shouted in unison. They attacked together. Their will realms erupted violently. The terrifying combined pressure made the surrounding air hiss and crackle.
The convergence of their will realms and power was horrifying. Ye Chu did not dare meet it head-on. His figure flickered as he dodged and evaded. But the opponents quickly pursued, unleashing even more ferocious power.
One strike came straight towards Ye Chu’s chest. Outside the arena, Tan Miaotong clenched her fists tightly. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Ye Chu.
“Come on then!” Seeing one of them about to hit his chest, Ye Chu suddenly burst into laughter. His arm shot out fiercely and collided with the opponent’s fist.
Ye Chu was forced back several steps, but the other man let out a miserable scream. A chilling aura wrapped around his arm. The aura seeped into his flesh. It felt as though his arm was about to tear apart. The icy cold invaded him, corroding his arm.
This shocked him. He poured all his strength into his arm, trying to dispel the force. But he discovered that the power was extremely pure. Even with his surging strength, he could hardly drive it out.
This sudden turn of events caused the onlookers’ expressions to change. They looked at Ye Chu with a trace of horror. Only Ye Chu still wore a smile on his face!
He had once obtained the multicoloured-patterned murderous spider and refined its murderous qi. Naturally, he had absorbed some of its attributes. In the earlier exchanges, he had mostly used spiritual energy, so the murderous qi aura had been limited. But in that last strike, Ye Chu had shifted yin and yang. The power he unleashed was now very close to pure murderous qi.
Although it had been refined and no longer corroded flesh on contact like the original, it was still enough to give them a severe headache.
As for the opponent wanting to expel the murderous qi, that was simply impossible. Unless one reached the realm of devouring the essence of the sun and moon, even a peak Primordial Spirit cultivator could never dispel such a force.
In terms of the purity of power, Ye Chu far surpassed ordinary sixth-layer Innate Realm cultivators.
With his entire body infused with the aura of murderous qi, Ye Chu became like a tiger with wings. The other three could not withstand his edge at all. They were forced back step by step.
“Bastard!” When Ye Jingyun saw that Ye Chu really could defeat the four, she could not help cursing loudly. She thought to herself that the look he had given her earlier was definitely gloating.
The moment Ye Jingyun lost focus, she was immediately struck by the city lord of Ma Yuan City. Her body staggered backwards. Her blood and qi surged chaotically. She felt utterly miserable.
“Ye Chu! You bastard, hurry up and help me!” Ye Jingyun cursed furiously. She hated Ye Chu to the bone.
Seeing that Ye Jingyun truly could not hold on any longer, Ye Chu unleashed a fierce strike that shook off one of the cultivators blocking him. He shot straight towards the city lord of Ma Yuan City.
At that moment, the city lord of Ma Yuan City was reaching towards Ye Jingyun’s chest with a lecherous grin in his eyes. “Bitch, let this lord first feel how soft your chest is!”
The strike was swift and fierce. It was about to land on her. Ye Jingyun bit her lip tightly. Her fists clenched. She was ready to use her family’s treasure.
Just as Ye Jingyun began to channel her power, she suddenly felt an arm wrap around her waist. She was pulled back several steps, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The warm large hand pressed against her waist. Ye Jingyun clearly felt another hand land on her thigh. She glared furiously, only to realise that Ye Chu’s hand had suddenly released her. He struck out fiercely, clashing head-on with the pursuing city lord of Ma Yuan City. This left Ye Jingyun with anger she had nowhere to vent.
Ye Chu was forced back several steps. His blood and qi churned. His arm went numb. The opponent’s power was far too strong. It surpassed a single layer of Primordial Spirit Realm by a wide margin. Even when Ye Chu met it with murderous qi, he could hardly withstand the blow.
Several people from Ma Yuan City surrounded Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun in the centre of the arena. The city lord of Ma Yuan City stared at the two of them. Then he glanced at one of his subordinates who had been nearly crippled by Ye Chu. His face turned extremely gloomy.
“I underestimated you two. You actually both possess the strength to fight Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators!” The city lord of Ma Yuan City finally put away his contempt.
Those who had been paying attention to the fight were also shocked by the strength Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun had displayed. With the power the two had just erupted, among all the camps present, apart from Ma Yuan City, no one could defeat them.
“Tsk tsk, these two are too arrogant. If they hadn’t deliberately targeted Ma Yuan City, with their strength they might have had a chance to enter the top three.”
“That’s not necessarily true. They’re outsiders. If they didn’t go after Ma Yuan City, these other forces would probably have joined hands to drive them out first.”
“True enough! But in the end, the result is the same. They still have no chance at the spiritual spring.”
“…”
Discussions buzzed all around. At this moment, Ye Jingyun was gritting her teeth and glaring at Ye Chu. “Those restless hands just now, I’ve remembered them!”
“What restless hands?” Ye Chu looked at Ye Jingyun in confusion. “Don’t tell me you’re talking about when I saved you and accidentally grabbed your bucket waist?”
“You know exactly what I mean!” Ye Jingyun refused to argue further with Ye Chu. She turned her gaze back to the city lord of Ma Yuan City. “We need to find a way to take him down first. Otherwise we’re definitely going to lose this time. Once the other camps free up their hands, they’ll surely turn on us.”
Ye Chu glanced at Ye Jingyun. Then he suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, “You could try using your beauty. If you take off your trousers and show those legs of yours, I bet we could win without even fighting.”
“Ye Chu!” Ye Jingyun’s eyes shot icy daggers. She drew the dagger she carried at her waist and pointed it at Ye Chu.
“That’s the best plan. Use it if you want, or don’t!” Ye Chu was not afraid of her at all.
“What’s this? Infighting already? Hahaha, bitch, why don’t you come with me instead? I’m definitely much more capable than this pretty boy. I’ll make sure you’re satisfied every single night.” The city lord of Ma Yuan City stared at the two and laughed loudly.
Ye Chu shrugged at the city lord’s words. “Your standards are really high! You actually want her to accompany you every night! Me, I’m easier to please. If she let me touch her buttocks and thighs a few times, I’d sort you out in minutes. Right, Ye Jingyun?”
Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu with contempt. “If you can really sort him out in minutes, letting you touch my thighs a few times is nothing.”
